Boing boing boing boing bong bing bing bing….. Ya hear that? That would be the sound of me dropping multiple balls. : (
Because of Storycube architecture show bibles and DOD schedules are a completely different animal. Evolution.
A hornet’s best most tech companies don’t see/don’t know enough to see coming - SAG/AFTRA merger http://www.thewrap.com/?mobRedir=false
Supposed to be talking about the 90 second clip and sound this morning at the StorycubeHyv. But postponing.

If this new show “Touch” was a silent show I would watch it for some of the framing /camera/camera-focused design work alone.
Thanks to @SteveCase...
Steve avoided a lot of people who are incredibly misinformed and misunderstanding of the weaknesses and strengths long term of crowd-funding. Coming up with a very good situation for an open INDIE market… but one where crap, that doesn’t have an audience worthy of the investment, might less likely be repeatedly funded and destroy the model. No industry more than independent art,...
This interview/piece on AR makes me realize how far behind even the AR ‘experts’ are in many cases. I don’t know how you go public with something crappy. http://m.cnet.com/Article.rbml?&nid=57395048&cid=null&bcid&bid=-52

Crossed fingers this next test ready for Cannes.
Jam with Sons of Liberty project had to do with violence of it. What’s funny is it’s violent (may be my most violent project) but it’s based on our history (same one the tea party warped). Same history we scrub all the violence out of.
Heading to JFK Library to talk about ‘Sons of Liberty’ & Freedom Trail Storycube. This one has been jammed for months. Seems jam cleared.
The influence of social recommendation/social shopping on retail numbers average from studies being quoted at M2C is even less than I thought. Something like .00000003%. Social retail sites have very little effect on sales..

After yesterday’s (all last year’s) problems with Snow White stuff… Nice to see this piece today to remind me why I have worked (am working) so hard & long on Turing biopic. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/26/arts/design/genius-and-tragedy-at-dawn-of-computer-age.html?_r=1
This AM in the Hyv - Talking about home as a “safe” and a data “foyer” & data “keys” as the architecture for ID and ‘ship’ or virtual bubble that you use/have to flow through a Storycube… Or experience. Trying to get through how data (visual, auditory) not only stores (source) but how it ‘gathers’ in an experience. Multi-port,...

So in essence you get to the game through the show and to the show through the game ….and portals (portkeys, horcruxes and their wormholes) are all around to get into this storycube.
So we are making a show called the c.a.m.p. which has within the story ..a video game image puzzle clue thing.. A few of them within the filming. Which will be delivered, sold varying within the game of the c.a.m.p. that will within the universe be sold/be given away both in reality AR interface, web and TV sync…and within the layers of all of it sell/give away much within all of it from...

The big change that is coming is by people who got successful ignoring the difficulty of non-hokey long form & their own lack of skill in it. (& the challenges of signatory to make the numbers work).
Keep telling Productions to listen to their prod.’s .. Second screen distraction /dual focus means audio must carry the layback close to as well, if not better than the visual.
More Prometheus footage/trailer. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=88345
Taking heat (again) for being so slow and secretive ..& not focusing one at a time… . So I posted again - intralinking between films/tv/reality etc. needs more than one. And the architecture of the first needs to withstand expansion and variation like nothing anyone has done. http://dlwillson.wordpress.com/2012/03/22/a-universe-we-all-need-an-initial-contentcube-infrastructure

People wonder why I had to do so many projects and so many hyperlinking things with them before I can release any of them into the public view… Well, what is coming down the pipeline (this year) from a couple of behemoths will clear up a lot to a lot of people. A lot of interactive TV work is being built that hasn’t got the “content infrastructure” to use what they are building for. The networks...

IMHO - VPC could be a structure that enables the end of Social as we know it and change identity.. (Yes believe it or not ..going to say it…a Facebook killer) Especially if it is the vehicle that people flow through a Storycube (interfacing from and with for communication, immersive, entertainment, identity and retail). I think that is what we’ve been looking for. & tracks a...
The New Skill: The Storycube/Cube is harder than... →
Storycubes are harder than films or TV shows or games. They can’t be hokey, a gimmick, or an advertisement. They have to propulsion through arcs of tension. They should use reality to strengthen the 4th wall not break it. They must not be work for the audience… And the disruption of a platform must be minimized and/or purposeful.
The future of retail is integrated ubiquity. The future of activation hasn’t changed in the entire history of retail …appetite, emotion, utility. Ethos, Pathos, Logos. Ethos, Pathos, Logos. Those who control THAT real estate and architecture… Will be the masters of all of the economy.
A little mind blowing when a concept/term I invented / created (storycube, cubers) becomes incorporated in the title of largest TV gathering on the planet- http://www.mipworld.com/en/mipcube/overview/
Some nights I wake up feeling like Jackson Pollack and walk down/over to my offices and see the messes of video, slopped all over in various states of production and I ponder how Lee Krasner helped him finish and how lucky he was to have her. Some nights there was(is) just so much ‘paint’ everywhere…
Need a break- if anyone is looking for me today> taking the day off (most of anyway- have a pick up tonight) to make a dent in spring clean up. - DL
Yes, that was the earliest sunrise in 114 years.

It is funny, now, to everyday be talking about the new structure of film and tv where the screen and sound are just the persistent surface of a ubiquitous cloud that has always been in my imagination since I was child… That I could reach into and out of the screen… I now talk every day with the man who is THE global expert on that paradigm shifting, magic-has-become-reality...
